I'm sure it had an effect, but an influx of workers should mean dropping wages and lower prices. By my math, anyway. More people competing for a limited resource should raise its value rather than lower it.
Of course they run through the poor neighborhoods. That's the point- protect the bourgeoisie from the poors. But I bet there aren't many stops in those neighborhoods.
Instead of letting the supply/demand curve naturally set the price of the dollar, they had it set by fiat against other currencies using gold as a middleman of sorts. When this ended, the free market found that the dollar wasn't worth nearly as much as we had said. On a macro level, there was a glut of dollars against poor demand for them. This makes prices go higher, which fuels the inflation fire.
I'm not saying the gold standard was good- it wasn't. Only that the transition away from the gold standard was painful and was a big part of the stagflation problem.
Your admonition is sound, but I have a minor quibble about the losing everything in 2000 and 2008 part. They only lost if they were holding raw stocks and/or if they sold at the bottom. I lost a lot of money in my retirement account too, but what I didn't do was sell at the bottom. I let it ride, and I was back to even in just over a year. It wreaked havok on my long term return number, but I was still up. Which is pretty good in a deflationary spiral.
We probably won't. That was caused by all the boomers hitting the job market at the same time the US was going off the Bretton-Woods system. The value of the dollar had to correct itself away from the more or less arbitrary fixed price in gold, to representing the value it actually represents.
You use a vendor, or do it inhouse. The vendor writes the checks, you pay the vendor the value of the checks. If you do it inhouse, you just change the name and account number on the checks you print.Or you get an insurance policy that provides cash in the event of a bank failure.
I loved a good analog phone. It combined the fidelity of AM radio with the interference prevention of AM radio with the power requirements of AM radio.
People CAN be trusted with power. But there has to be a legitimate legal wall between who wants to use the power and who allows the use of power. The courts kind of do this, but when law enforcement controls the equipment used for this kind of stuff, they can't be trusted to self police.
No, you are wrong. Everyone knew thalidomide, DDT and agent Orange were capable of causing problems. But they were so good at their stated purposes that people used them in unsuitable situations.
You can't prove something is 100% safe. All you can do is test something to the best of your ability. That is exactly how science works.
You say the users expect enhancements, but are they actually asking for them? Because I'd bet there are a shit ton of little bugs that need to be fixed that would improve a great many users' experiences.

Wouldn't need to anymore. Welfare costs would go way down.
Superior to what? Rat meat?

Ride on one built in the last 20 years. Hint: it wasn't built for poor people.

Right, but the horizon the market sees is much nearer than what others can see.

They would be stupid not to. Maybe not full 2x coverage, but at least enough to span the bank outage.

I would love to have that kind of address. "Rutherford Manor, North Cheswickfordshire, Yarmouth, UK"

Exactly. Allah will provide.
The market can't predict the future! It can't tell the difference between abundant and cheap.
Do you really think they wouldn't convert that?
Correctly.
Europe versus Asia is an artificial concept. They are part of the same landmass.
Try learning some history. Obama had nothing to do with that. Bush negotiated the pullout.
Why don't you just call them niggers and be done with it?

They just brought out a new one that actually sold out at my local ATT store.

Gmo is not a additive, genius. Fish meat is fish meat.
